I can deal with most of the side effects(dry lips, dry eyes, etc...), but the tiredness is such a pain in the ass.

I feel tired all day long, I used to have mild insomnia but now I can sleep 12 hours, lol....

YES! I go out to the store and come back and feel like I've been hard at work all day long, so annoying.

Yes, this is normal... But I think it will subside, not sure though - just started a couple weeks ago. I found working out with weights help.

Hi,

 

I did I post similar to this a week ago...

 

I have been totally exhausted and its been really getting to me, some one suggested taking Accutane in the morning, instead of at night.

 

I've started to take it at lunch time with my meal, and I think I do feel a bit better! (not normal, but less tired than before)

 

When do you take yours?

I'm on month 2 80mgs and have not noticed this. I'm always tired from working graves but have not noticed any additional sleepyness. I take 40 in the morning and 40 at night. Just try to stay active, my weekends I sleep like crazy because I'm doing nothing.

Yes I am always tired as well and just started my first month accutane but sadly my fourth course of accutane. I don't remember getting this tired so fast on the first month. I literally slept all weekend and I am the type of person who can never take naps or go back to sleep after waking up even if I am tired, but I literally slept all day today and was able to take my dogs out for a brief walk and then go back to sleep. Hang in there!

I'm not really tired like you guys, but I've noticed that after drinking my hangovers are waaay worse now when I'm on Accutane. Apart from that, I really don't experience any tiredness. But I'm on a very low dose (5mg every other day).

I had the same thing when i was taking accutane. Going to the store for food was about as much as i could do in a day. It is normal in this situation, and for you to decide if it is worth it or not. The tiredness lingered around for a while after quitting though, it took a full two months to feel a little bit more like a human being.
